A LANGTRY SPECULATOR.
A Bootblack Planks Down $50
For Langtry Tickets. =

A small boy wearing flannel shirt
was prancing up and down Third
street yesterday, asking every man who
looked as though he had sl.5O if he
wanted to buy ticket to one of Mrs.
Langtry's performances and that same
boy found very few buyers.
lie was a Spectator.
DThere is very lit e speculation done
in tickets in this city, ecoiding to the
claim of Manager Scott, but once in
while fellow takes advantage of the
coming of some dramatic or operate
star and helps his bank account trifie.
There is a limit fixed by Manager Scott
over which no one man is allowed to go
in buying tickets. Six tickets for each
entertainment is all one man can pur-
chase, and in this manner the festive
Speculation gets the cold shoulder. 0c-
casionally, however, a man is found
who dips in for the whole amount.
As far as can be learned, the boy re-
ferred to above is the only person who
has made any attempt to take advantage
OF the visit of the Jersey Lily to swell
his meal ticket fund. Two years ago
that same boy was backing boots
in the city and selling newspapers.
Last Thursday he walked up to the box
Office of the Grand and pianking down
fifty-nine hard dollars under the nose of
Treasurer Simons, said: ''Give me
thirty-Six Langtry tickets. Eighteen
for myself and eighteen for this fellow,
my brother"
The tickets were given him, and if
there's anybody on earth who can get
rid of them and make money at the
same time, he will.
Yesterday the sale of seats was good.
Manager Scott received telegram from
Rush City to reserve twenty-five seats
for party who would be down from
that town Monday night. A like order
was received from Duluth and one from
Saltwater engaging fifty seats each.

dler and the meiodrama"The Rangers -

Summer Evening Concerts Con-
temDlated...A Park Site.

Summer Evening Concerts Con-
templated---AP Park Site.
The West st. Paul Citizens union held
its regular weekly meeting last even
ing. The committee Oh the location of
a telegraph station reported that the
North American company had located
an Office on Starkey street, near Fill
more avenue, and that the Western
Union company would establish a
branch as soon as suitable location
could be obtained. The special commit
tee oh electric lights reported that the
necessary funds had been subscribed
for a mast at the head of the stairs on
Dakota avenue; that the mast had been
ordered and was ready to be put in place,
. but that the city council had refused to
furnish the lights, on account of the eX-
penSe. The committee has been before
council three times and will
bring the matter up again, and
the members still have hopes of
securing the lights. A resolution
was passed urging the city engineer to
Immediately establish the grade on An
napolis street, the city of South st.
Paul being ready to grade its part, but
was unable to establish any of its grades
until the city has completed its grades
Oh streets adjoining south st. Paul. 1t
being announced that the First Regi-
ment band was willing to give -
ONE CONCERT A WEEK
in West st. Paul if suitable place
could be provided, resolution was
passed recommending block 50, corner
of South Robert and George streets and
Prospect terrace as proper places for
holding the concerts. The city will be
asked to erect band stands at these
places and to provide number of rustic
seats. The residents will be asked to
furnish seats for the band.
President Campbell, who is a
member of the park commission,
reported that sum had been set aside
| for the maintenance of Alice park. Mr..
Wilde protested against the action of
the Board of education in proposing to
dispose of the Humboldt school property

bought the same property short time
ago for $4,000 or $4,000 ana he did moi
understand why it had suddenly become
SO valuable. Furthermore, he thought
the present site an excellent one, and
the old building might easily be en-

Seven Millions of Brick.

To that pretty little city of Chaska,
up the valley of the Minnesota, went
yesterday party of practical men, who
know good brick when they see it.
There were the veterans Thomas Grace
and George Mitsch, the builder &. w.
Merrill, Phillip Reilly the lumberman,
and the GLOBE correspondent The
newly equipped brick yards of j. S.
Burris, and inspect a perfected system
of producing perfect material.
1t is well known that the clay along
the banks of the Minnesota river about
Chaska makes bricks of great strength,
but generally the product by the old
processes have been rough and uneven.
The Bierlien system, which is just
perfected and patented, and ope-
rated only by Mr.. Burris,
will, according to the results as exhib-
tied yesterday to the aforementioned
committee of experienced examiners.
vastly Improve the brick in durability
and finish, while materially reducing
the cost. The yard wherein the bricks
are manufactured, and the four great
kilnS are located, cover a spacious area
while around it are many acres under
whose surface lies the rich deposit of
clay. Along the edge of the yard runs
platform raised fifteen feet, and by this
roadway the clay is conveyed by carts
to the patent Bierlien Clay Crusher and
Temperer, for which the power is sup
piled by an engine and shafting under
the platform. BY simple and ingenious
devices the clay is, on being dumped
from the wagon, pulyerized to powder
and dropped to the temperer below,
where water is added, and pliable
but solid putty is produced and
passed by spout to the
regular brick machine from
which it issues moulded into bricks of
perfect proportions. These are quickly
transferred to patent trucks, which run
OH tracks laid between commodious dry
ing racks which, with their roofs and
canvas sides, are also patented as part
of the Bierlien system of brickmaking.
By this device the bricks are never
touched by the hands, as in the old
process, and they reach the kilns per-
feet, while the roofs and sides of the
racks completely protect them from the
action of storms while drying. The
whole process is very simple and eco
nOmical,a and is the result of many years
experience in the manufacture of bricks.
The product is handsome, even, solid
brick, of a delicate cream color, and
they are undoubtedly the most de-
Sirable brick in the market. Mr. Burris,
who has headquarters at the contractors
and builders board of trade, is prepared
to fill all orders, as he is producing
6S,000 bricks per day and has a capacity
of 10000.

Louis X. Church, governor of Dakota,
accompanied by Col. Benton, sheriff of
Cass county, and who was appointed
treasurer of the territory and resigned,
climbed up TO the top of the GLOBE
building Yesterday afternoon and looked
off. The governor gave one glance
downward on the heads of the pigmies
below. and with gasp, and his blonde
hair pointing toward Mars, fled towards
the center of the ROOF, t.

towards South Clark street, Chicago.

governor. ARE YOU crazy? You'd better

hands. from the brass ball Oh top of the
main tower to which he had climbed.

from the lips of Benton, who had
Skinned up the flag staff on the tower
and was tossing his gaze over in the di-
rection OF Queen Victoria.
This was too much for the governor
and he went down to the managing ed
itor's room and with tears in his eyes
dictated the following death notice,
which he asked to lie inserted three
times:

OFF FOR WASHINGTON.
Company ID on the Road to the
Capital City.

That Company ID has almost innum-
cradle friends and admirers in st. Paul
was evident from the large crowd that
gathered at the Union depot last even
ing to see the st. Paul prize winners
start on their trip to Washington. The
company started from the Ryan hotel
about O'clock, and headed by the First
Regiment band marched up Sixth street
to Wabasha, out Wabasha to Third and
down Third street to Sibley, thence to
the depot. Third street was lined with
people and there was almost continuous
applause from WabaSha street to the
depot. When the company arrived at
the depot Company a, OF Minneapolis.
fifty-one men, under command of Cap
tain John Amory, was drawn up in line
OH the platform. Company ID numbered
forty-seyen men, including the officers.
Besides the members OF the militia
there was in the party Gov. McGill and
members of his staff, with members OF
their families; Capt. w. w. Price, of
Company E; Lieut.. Chantler, of Com
pany c; B. w. Ball, of Minneapolis,
commiSsary sergeant of the First regi-
ment, several members of different
companies of the National Guard, and
large number of ST. PauliteS. The
special train on the Minnesota IL North
western, which conveys the party to
Chicago, consisted of five sleepers, one
day coach and a baggage car. Company
ID and its friends occupied the two rear
cars; Company A occupied the middle
sleeper, and the remainder of the party
filed the remaining two cars. The
boys were all in the best of spirits
and of course both companies feel con-
fident of coming back with trophy to
pay them for the months of hard labor
they have spent in preparing for the
contest. The train pulled out of the
depot at 7:40 and the party will arrive
in Washington on Sunday.
